Whether I use Holo Launcher Pro or Apex Launcher, the homescreen in fine in portrait mode. When I tilt the phone into landscape mode on the homescreen, the homescreens on the left partially show.
In other words, I can see partial widgets from second homescreens on the left and right of the main screen in landscape mode. I hope this makes sense.
Anyway, I was hoping to know if anyone else was experiencing this, or if it can be corrected. I messed around with rows and columns but I just can't get it correct. Are these apps needing updates for the new size or do I have some type of setting wrong on the S4?
Any help is appreciated.

Hi,
If i enable auto-rotation from the home screen, the home screen also rotates automatically creating a lot of lag. Is ut possible that the home is never rotated (always in portrait) whereas applications can rotate the screen?
Please let me know. It would be of great help.

ok, so more info would have been helpul, you know. however, of course it is possible, this is android isn't it . You must have installed a different launcher since your home screen rotates. Look in the launcher settings, there should be a setting somewhere that will turn it off.
tl;dr launcher settings!
This is Froyo rooted on my G3. And the option is in the notification bar drawer. So it isnt becasue of the launcher.
did you even look!?!
Its the home screen! How can it not be launcher related!!
you are really frustrating, but I still explain it to you:
The same way that some other apps dont rotate, some launchers dont rotate, namely stock launcher. If you are using stock launcher the home screen wont rotate regardless of that option being checked or not!! Third party launchers provide the ability to rotate your homescreen! Most, if not all, will allow you to turn it off!!
Sooo go! Check your launcher settings!!
I'm using zeam and its under general. However, you are obviously not using zeam if you are complaining that it is slow.
Soooo go!! Check your launcher settings already!!
P.S. Depending on your launcher turning off rotation for the homescreen might include turning off rotation for the app drawer. I dont know if there are launchers that separate the two.

Make sure you have lagfix v2 installed on your phone. For more info, see general help in this forum!
Hey all,
What's the best setup in terms of spacing with Apex?
I have it set to 5x7 in portrait mode right now and it looks good. However, when I rotate it to landscape, all of my icons disappear. What's the best spacing I should set in so that I'll be able to see it in either orientation. I find the default spacing and margins to waste a lot of precious space.
Thoughts?
Thanks!
Scratch that. I recommend Nova Launcher.
Way better with the spacing issue.
Hi All! I'm trying to get as close to full tablet UI without changing the DPI. Just wondering if anyone knows a launcher replacement that runs in tablet mode and not in phone mode? I'm trying to combine it with the tablet bar in the EOS rom. Apex Launcher works but is buggy - apps grid only takes up half the screen and no icon labels show.
Thanks.
Go launcher ex works fine in landscape mode.
Have you tried Nova Launcher?
..
Can anybody tell me a landscape rotation app that is compatible with the note 3 touchwiz. Because in home screen when in forced landscape mode using apps from playstore, the proportion is bugged.

Oh thank gawd! I'm not the only one! I too am having this issue (tmus) and posted that question today there:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2590080
Basically I was using "Ultimate Rotation Control" and it works great on all my previous galaxies but on the Note 3 it looks like the icon and widgets are trying to stay in a forced portrait mode. However my background image looks fine, go figure.
However you can change your launcher to GoLauncher and that should work for you just fine. I prefer GoLauncher myself because it has a calendar widget that none of the other launchers seem to have.
Hopefully the makers of URC fix their app because its not working now.
Not to my knowledge.
If you change to Apex, Nova or another launcher, though, you'll have that as an option amongst plenty of others... Not to mention less resource usages.
Just got my PH-1 and I usually use Nova, but no matter what grid combo I select I have this gab between the last row of icons and the dock and I cannot add any icons there??? its about 12mm wide, I even tried evie launcher, same thing, it wont let me add icons above the dock. any ideas/solution, hate this blank space between app icons and dock on Homescreen.

I'm running Nova and I don't have that issue.
You might need to tweak the settings but I came from a LG G6 and my settings just worked.
hi, in settings what have you got your display settings as? default with default font? are you in immersive with nav bar dropping away after a few seconds or is it static? thanks
Fixed: some conflict (I guess) between settings in Nova/Evia and immersive and resized Navbar. so I just went back to stock settings and restored a nova backup and all is well.
